Music is Better

„Behind the Smile“ is, more than any album before, about being depressed. The title track of this album delivers such an blunt and unfiltered insight into my soul, that i´m a little mortified about the intimacy. Of course i´m not about to kill myself, as suggested in the song, but „Behind the Smile“ was the best way an artist can achieve communication through music. By exaggerating your pain and giving it at least a name, so all the world can understand. „Behind the Smile“ is so merciless and so unpossibly honest that i consider it one of my best pieces of work ever and maybe the best track on the album.

Behind the Smile

Hello, i am Robin. 
29, german, emotional-pop-music. 

Melancholy is what i feel. That´s what my music is about. 
Music allows me to suffer, to get rid of pain and sorrow. 
Music makes me carry on, under the weight of living. 
So music is essentially more than just maintenance. 
Music is what feelings sounds like. 

My instrument of choice is the synthesizer: Hardware no Software. 
Knowing that only the synthesizer can save the world. 

My influences are HURTS, BASTILLE, Rüfüs, Rupert Hine and Sparks. 
I´m less attracted by synth-pop gods like Depeche Mode or the Pet Shop Boys, because i don´t appreciate their often plastic-like sound.

To the day i wrote and recorded five albums, 
so there are 56 more songs and a youtube-channel. 
Unfortunately i never had professionals or a label behind me.

So i really hope you like what you see and hear in this profile.
Thank you very much. 

Only the Best, 
ROBIN BURKARD
